On January 30th, a farewell ceremony for American high school students visiting China was held on the campus of Lincoln High School in Tacoma, Washington, USA. The performance by the school drum band brought a more lively atmosphere to the scene. Off stage, from those who have experienced cultural exchanges between China and the United States to young people who are about to visit China, everyone is full of longing for continuing the journey of friendship. On January 30th, at Lincoln High School in Tacoma, Washington, D.C., Montserrat Romero Rocha (Central), a 12th grade student from Lincoln High School who will depart for exchange in China in March, attended the farewell ceremony for American high school students visiting China. Wu Xiaoling, a reporter from Xinhua News Agency, photographed that 10 students from Lincoln Middle School who visited China after eight years of "relay" will leave for China in March to exchange ideas. Montserrat Romero Rocha, a 12th grader, is one of them. Montserrat comes from an ordinary American family. "I am really grateful and surprised! Even now, I can't believe it's true." She couldn't hide her excitement when facing the reporter. This is the second time luck has come to this family. In 2016, Montserrat's sister Abrana participated in a visit to China for exchange. The joyful expression on her mother's face when she heard the news back then still lingers in her memory. In Montserrat's view, "we are all beneficiaries of the development of US China relations.". "The poetry collection that my sister brought back from China is now on my bookshelf. Her trip to China has permeated me and inspired me even more." Montserrat told reporters about her plans, "I hope to explore things I have never experienced before in China, and I hope to learn and grow more through this opportunity!" At Lincoln High School, Many students share the same aspiration as Montserrat - to observe China with their own eyes, listen to China with their own ears, and measure China with their own footsteps. They express their understanding and expectations of China and Chinese culture through paragraphs: "China has always been the place I long for, my dream." "Entering and perceiving China will broaden my horizons and help me grow." "China is a fascinating fusion of tradition and modernity, and I really want to see it with my own eyes." On January 30th, at Lincoln High School in Tacoma, Washington, the school drum band prepared to perform at the farewell ceremony for American high school students visiting China. We also welcome everyone to visit China more often, experience and perceive China more comprehensively
